Leaving tomorrow on a 7-day...

Have a blast!  Enjoy an adult beverage in the warm sun for us while our snow still melts 

Sal - That needs to be photo of the month, I just burst out laughing looking at it

Hope the weather wasn't too bad yesterday when you headed out!

We're still looking at 10 - 20' waves and 30+ mph winds off Southern California on Monday.

18' with 37Kts sustained currently offshore Norcal.

But the water is "warm" at 55 degrees....

Hope the weather wasn't too bad yesterday when you headed out!

It was BRUTAL... the ship was five hours late leaving port... wind and waves like you wouldn't believe.   

I couldn't help but hope that none of the long-range boats were heading uphill. 

Not that it bothered me, though. Great food, slot machines, and best of all, the boat has news broadcasts on tv so this political junkie gets to watch the Iowans do their thing tonight!   

Ahoy from the briny deep,

Have fun! Better you than me. I'd rather be in Hell with a broken back. Never been on one, never intend to.
As for tonite, I'm watching my Tar Heels demolish Louisville in 'b'ball (I hope).
I'm not going to get into politics until Fall. Then try to pick the "least worst".

It will be nicer down south. You guys got Cabo as a Port of Call?

[borchcl]

Have a great trip!

[thorhammer]

I bet that boat carries a lot of ice and has a huge fish box! 

Have fun Aiala!

Yes it does John  :


Aiala, have a great time...be safe.


Sal, is that a week's worth of Dominic's Speedos drying on the bow?

...without a single piece of fishing gear! 



Hope I don't spot a breezer of tuna or whatever... I'll go nuts.      

In any case, anchors aweigh... see you next week!

Did you stop in Cabo San Lucas Friday?
Marc..

Back safe and sound (but FAT, ugh) from a week of deliberately low-key relaxation aboard RUBY PRINCESS. Never left the ship, preferring to read books in the quiet adults-only lounge while the mob went ashore to acquire overpriced souvenirs and horrific pink sunburns. Only saw one fish jump the entire time (somewhere east of Cedros) so my fishing obsession wasn't too badly tweaked. All in all, a welcome break.   

Speaking of obsession... only sixteen and a half weeks till my ROYAL STAR 8-day... time's a-wastin', gotta get busy!
